How're you feelin' about that Adam Eaton trade?

Here was what I just posted in the Baseball thread

This is a good trade for the Pads and it's the kind of trade I make all of the time when playing OOTP: older, more $ SP for a younger, less $ SP of both equal ratings.

Plus (since you were kind enough to ask), I'll add that it might net us 3 starters, esp. forcing the way overpriced Klesko to shape up or get his butt permanently benched this season. Eaton will have his problems at the Rangers park while Young should thrive at Petco. Of course as always, there are the injuries thing that could end up making this trade unbalanced one way or the other.

Seems like the Adrian Gonzalez pickup is a good one. I'm curious about the prospects the Padres had to give up, though. I can't get a sense for whether they came out ahead, behind, or break even on this one.
